Peter Marc Jacobson's sexuality
During a 2015 interview with Getout Magazine, the filmmaker revealed he had gay feelings since he was a teenager but was more attracted to girls because of societal expectations in the 1970s. However, he does not regret the time he spent in a heterosexual marriage.
I loved my life with Fran! I just knew that there was something that was not right because I thought about other men sometimes. I felt like I didn't want to cheat on her.
After separating from his wife Fran, he tried dating other women but was not attracted to them. He then started visiting gay bars where he felt comfortable. After 11 years, his friends helped him tell the world about his sexuality.

Talking to Advocate.com in 2015, Marc revealed their marriage started to break down during The Nanny production when he became more controlling of Fran. He did not have a proper outlet to channel his feelings which made him angry at his wife.
I became very controlling with Fran—the way she looked, how she dressed, what she ate—and became very Svengali-esque, which is not a good way to be with someone you go home to sleep with. That's what eventually tore us apart—not my sexuality because I wasn't acting out on it then.
Are Fran and Peter back together?
The former couple are not together but are best friends who often vacation together. They are also business partners.
